Topic: Christmas Presents (Read 7661 times)

Did anybody get any good homebrewing Christmas presents. My awesome wife got me a bottle drying rack, and a really cool homebrewing journal. I gave my father-in-law a six-pack of the latest coffee stout that I brewed (Addicted Coffee Stout from September/October Zymurgy) and he loved it. I hope that everyone else gave and received some good brew related gifts.

Merry Christmas!

The pinnacle of human achievement. Since the dawn of parking lots, man has sought to fill his gut with food and alcohol in anticipation of watching others exercise.” - Homer Simpson

I got a 1-liter engraved boot from my wife and son, along with a NB shirt and $100 gift card to Northern Brewer. I'm drinking some Samichlaus from my boot as we speak. Now I need to figure out what to spend my gift card on. Leaning towards a grain mill, but a pH meter and refractometer are also high on my list.

A family friend obviously hit up my Amazon wish list and got me Wild Brews, Brewing Better Beer and Brew Like a Monk. Got lots of reading to do

My parents gave me a copy of Extreme Brewing by San Calagione. None of this would've been possible if my girlfriend's parents wouldn't have given me a Mr. Beer kit last Christmas. Now I'm so hooked I'm on my 24th batch, been all grain since June.

My girlfriend got me "Brewing Better Beer". I told my dad about it and he said, "She trying to tell you something?" haha, I laughed.I also got my dad a brewing starter kit from Northern Brewer. They had a deal where if you bought a 5 gallon kettle and a dead ringer kit, you get the brewing equipment free...unbelievable; saved like 90 bucks.

Due to some confusion between family members, I received two Blichmann floor burners! Since my production isn't too high, I don't think having two burners is the best use of my resources so I think I'll return one and get credit towards a grain mill. Compared to my old turkey fryer burner, the Blichmann looks like a thing of beauty! I can't wait to try it out.
